permit this operation it is customary to pron vide quickly removable mountings for the cloth rolls. The rolls are provided with square openingsinto which'may be `fitted the squared end of a supporting stud. It is 'an important object of'my present invention Vto provide a cloth roll support having a sleeve slidable in a fixed bearing of the'loor'n` in a direction parallel to the axis "of the cloth roll.

tion to provide the sleeve with agli'ousing suf- {iciently large torece'ive the squared end of the stud and so positioned as to engage the end of the cloth roll and position'the latter, said housing being'movable with the sleeve to be adjustable when varying llengths of cloth rolls areemployed. 1

3o It is a further object of mypresent invention to provide a lock which is movable with the sleeve sovthat whenA thellatter. is adjustf ed thelock will automatically be adjusted at the same time. In this connection it is 'to be noted that the sleeve and housing engagel one portion'of the clothy rolland their posi-v tion is to be determined by this part of thev cloth roll, whereas the squared end of the stud which is'related to the lock engages'another portion of the cloth roll; By providing the lockas set forth herein 'the' proper position of the housing and the square end of` the stud relatively to the roll is maintained. In' this way the cloth roll will be accurately Y *45,V positioned independently of 'anywariation which may be found in the, depth ot the square recess in thecloth roll which receives the square head of the stud.l -f

It is a more, detailed object 'of my 'present )invention to pivot the 'lock onthe 'housings so l It is a' further object of present inventhat the same may move about a centery which iseccentric relatively to the-axis ot' the cloth roll', the lock and its pivot togetherwith the studv and sleeve being formed as a unit which canbe readily inserted into and removedy from thekXed bearing in the loom.

With these andother objectsin view which will appear as the description proceeds, my invention resides in the" combination and arrangement Vof parts hereinafter described and set forth inthe claims.`

' In the accompanying drawings wherein one ferm of my invention is shown.

Fig. l is a front lelevation of the lower portion of'a loom having my invention applied' thereto, ycertain parts being shown in section and other parts being broken away for the sake of clearness,

F ig. 2 is an enlarged horizontal section on line QQ of Fig. l, i a

line of Fig. 1, and

Fig. 4 isa top plan view inthe direction oft' arrow 4, Fig. 3,certainparts being removed and otherparts'being in section.

Referring to Fig. 1, the loom frame' 10 may be provided with la lower girt 11` which supports-fa ypair of vertical stands 12 and 13 :located respectively at the right and left hand sides of theloom. Driving gearing indicated generally at 14 4is providedV for rotating the cloth roll from' the take-up roll yor anyother regularly moving part of the loom.V The right hand end of the' cloth roll may befsupportedon a head 15 non-circular in cross section, being suggested herein as square, said head being .associated with a hand wheel 16 by which thecloth rollmay be rotated and being ymounted on a stud 17 operatively connected to the gearing 14. Said stud kextends through a bearinglSiiXed on the right bracket 12; There is asliding connection'between the head 15 and the internal bore Y19 of the roll which will permit the roll tobe moved tothe leftwhile thehead 15 remains at rest; The matter thu's'far described Umay be of any approved formand of itself forms no part of my present invention.

invention. relates tothe mounting for the leftl'h'and. side ofthe roll `as viewed n'Fig.

' 7U Fig. 3 is an enlarged vertical section on 1 and in carrying my invention into effectV l provide a sliding sleeve member having formed preferably integral therewith an enlarged housing 31which is provided with an internal bore 32 preferably cylindrical in form.y The sleeve 3()I extends through a bearing 3 supported by the left hand UO bracket 13. The bearing is held in position by screws V34 and is providedwith .Y an adjusting set screw 35 adapted for en-y shown in Fig. 3 and is proportioned to fit. into the bore 32 of the housing 31 and thel bore is sufficiently deep to receive the head 43 so vthat the latter will .not project beyond the ront end face 44 of the housing.

The upper portion of the h'ousingBl is cut 'out as at 50 to define upwardlyfacing shoulders 51. A locking member `52 is received in the`cutaway portion and has its left face 53 in substantially the sameplane as the left face 54 of the housing. Thelocliin'g memberis mounted on a stud 55 which projects into the housing 31,` said stud extending across the cut-'out portion 50 and extending .y into that portion of the housing lyingeoiitside the bore 32. -The lock normally rests on the shoulders 51v and 'may have a-`hafndle y'portion 5G by which'it may be lifted.

The lock member has a depending portion 57 adapted to pass into an annular groove 58 cut/into the bodyiof the stud 40.; kThe groove 58 is Vso` located that it will 'receive the lock when the head 43 vis located in 'the recess 19 lof the cloth roll C. The cloth roll may be provided with 4a metallicfcap 60 which projects partly into the bore 19.7V The cap has a vertical face -61 extending across the lend ofA4 the cloth roll to abut the rig-ht hand surface 44 of the housing 31.

rIn operation the vparts as shown in Fig. 1, the gearing 14 serving to give the cloth roll periodicangular movementsto take up the cloth as the latter isv woven. Vhen suiii cient cloth has been wound on roll C to require removal the vlocl 52 will be swung upwardly around its pivot 'stud55 to move the .locking portion 57 out of the groove 58. ByV means ofthe hand hold 42l the stud may then be moved to theleftrto Withdraw the head 43 from the bore 19. Y The left handend'of the'cloth'roll may then ordinarily be Lmoved forwardly to a position where the ,cap will clear the housing 3 1, :aft-

verwhich'the cloth roll mayb .moved/end- Vwise to'clear the head 15. Should' the housing-31 be set too far to the right to permit this, however, the screw 35 may be loosened and the sleeve moved to the left to provide ample clearance for the removal of the cloth roll. When the stud 40 is moved'to the left that portion of the vbody indicated at which lies between `the groove 58 and .the head 43 will support the lock 52 and hold the latterv in raised position. Shouldit. be found on changing cloth rolls lthat'a variation exists the sleeve 30 can be moved longitudinally Vin the bearing 33 so th'atithe housing 31 and Lhead 43 may be properly located with respect to the-cloth roll. w

From the foregoing it will be seen that I have provided a mounting for cloth r'oll wherein the sleeve 30 may slide Aina direction substantially parallel to the axis ofthe cloth roll to accommodate slight variations in the lengths ofcloth rolls and also to facilitate removal offthe cloth vroll when a cut of cloth is to be taken from the loom. It will further be seenk that the housing 3'1 which receives the head 43- serves kto position theV cloth roll irrespective offthe head 443, the lat-ter being received in the bore Y32 soas not to interfere Vwith 'the removal of the cloth roll from the loom( It will also befseen thattlie locliy53 vis supported by the ho'iisin'g and 'therefore moves withrthe sleeve to all adjusted positions of" the latter, provision being made in this way to insure the proper relation between the'head 43 'and the housing 31 for all longitudinal positions of the sleeve 30.

'Having thus described my invention it will? be seen that changes and modifications may be nia`de therein by those vskilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of vthe invention and I do not wish to be limited vto the details 'herein disclosed, but i what I claim is:
